Redcliffs on Sea Community Information Centre
The Redcliffs Information Centre was established by local residents Vicki and Peter Hyde on 26 February and is coordinated by Fletcher Stanton. Initially the information centre consisted of a large noticeboard on the footpath outside Redcliffs New World. The Redcliffs School Board of Trustees became aware of the group and provided a caravan and when a degree of normality returned to Redcliffs with the return of electricity, the Redcliffs Information Centre established itself in a small office on the corner of Main and Beachville Roads. The information centre began as a place for local residents to access information about evacuations, location of portable toilets, water supplies, and the like, and donated foodstuffs and grocery items were provided at a time where few people remained in their homes, and those who did, did not have water, telephone, or electricity. It serves a broader purpose – providing support for local residents as they returned to the area (and many have), a place for a chat in a friendly welcoming environment.
